The Still FIFA President Becomes a Punchbag

The Daily Mail headlines on this with a photograph showing a sullen face with a plaster on his cheek. Seems like there might be more of a story too...Seems like someone refuses to be moved - by who?

'I feel sorry for me… I've become a punchbag': Blatter blames everyone but himself and insists he is still FIFA president after he and Platini are suspended for eight years over corruption scandal

• Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini banned over £1.35m payment in 2011
• Both have been fined and will be unable to run for presidency in February
• Both protested innocence as they said the payment was made following verbal agreement, when Platini worked for Blatter between 1998 and 2002
• Explanation rejected as 'not convincing' by ethics committee, who added that the evidence has not been sufficient to secure charges of corruption
• Blatter and Platini found in breach of 'offering and accepting gifts', as well as violating their fiduciary duty to FIFA
• FIFA statement also says both were in situation of conflict of interest
• Blatter has been fined £33,700, while Platini has been fined £53,940
• Blatter to appeal and take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport
• He says is still FIFA president and only the congress can remove him
• 'I am really sorry. I am sorry that I am still somewhere a punching ball.'

With no visible bruising on the face, the plaster might be a statement - with people who are scared to speak out or just feel unable to, perhaps they communicate their truth in some other way. This is just a thought that comes to mind...not sure this man is scared. He seems strong minded and strong willed.

The figures of these corporate establishments - if this is being 'politically correct' is actually mind boggling. As with football being seen as bloodless war games with big bucks involved, not all is clear..
